It was more enjoyable than I expected, and I had a fulfilling day blessed with good weather. I knew that fit individuals were participating in this course, so I was a bit nervous at the start. The initial pace was fast, and I worried about keeping up, but our guide managed the walking time and breaks well, allowing us to walk comfortably in the end.
We visited Shiratani Unsuikyo → Taiko Rock → Jomon Sugi in that order. Since we came to Yakushima with the goal of seeing Jomon Sugi, it was the perfect order for our group to see it last. Along the way, we received a lot of energy from the guide's stories, photo opportunities, and the power of nature, making it an exciting and thrilling 11-hour trek. The sense of accomplishment was incredible. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience nature in a day. Thank you, guide Shinmura.
期待以上に楽しく、天気に恵まれ充実した一日でした。
このコースは健脚の方が参加しているとしり、初めはドキドキのスタートでした。
初めのペースが速く着いていけるかと途中心配もしましたが、ガイドさんが歩く時間、休憩と上手にとってもらい、結局は余裕をもって歩くことが出来ました。
今回は白谷雲水峡→太鼓岩→縄文杉の順で回りました。
縄文杉を目的に屋久島に来たので、最後に縄文杉は私たちグループにとっては最高の順番でした。
途中のガイドさんの話や、写真撮影、大自然のパワーをたくさんもらい、終始ウキウキ、ワクワクの11時間のトレッキングでした。達成感も半端ないです。1日で大自然を感じたい方、お勧めです。ガイドの新村さんありがとうございました。

I participated with my 10-year-old son. It was almost our first time trekking, and we were a bit anxious, but thanks to our kind and reliable guide, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi safely. The guide made sure to take regular breaks, and their thoughtfulness and attention to detail were truly wonderful. It was a challenging journey, but we managed to get through it! The guide had extensive knowledge about the mountains, plants, insects, and birds, and taught us many things. My son seems to have completely fallen in love with Yakushima.
It became a very lovely memory. I'm glad we chose this tour. Thank you very much!
10歳の息子と一緒に参加しました。トレッキングは親子ともにほぼ初めてで不安もありましたが、優しく頼もしいガイドさんのお陰で、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことができました。休憩をこまめにとってくださり、気配り、目配りが本当に素晴らしく、大変な道のりでしたが乗り切る事が出来ました!山や植物、虫や鳥の知識が豊富で、色々な事を教えて下さり、息子もすっかり屋久島に魅了されたようです。
とても素敵な思い出になりました。このツアーでよかったです。本当にありがとうございました!

I participated with my younger sister. I work out at the gym twice a week, while my sister doesn't exercise at all, but thanks to the guide's consideration and pacing, we were able to enjoy trekking throughout!
The flight we were scheduled to take the day before was canceled, and the later flights were fully booked... However, we didn't give up and switched to a high-speed ferry, managing to get to Yakushima somehow.
The next day, the weather was clear, as if the rough weather from the previous day was a lie. The forest was cool, sparkling from the rain, and truly beautiful! The guide mentioned that "the forest today is in the best condition," and I completely agreed.
Our party, excluding the guide, consisted of five relatively fit members, but it was helpful that we took regular breaks. During lunch, we were served delicious miso soup.
Not only during breaks but also while walking, the guide shared various stories about Yakushima's history and the flora and fauna of the forest, which kept us engaged and made trekking enjoyable!
Additionally, since everyone in the party was energetic, we were pleasantly surprised to be taken to a beautiful river, which was a thoughtful gesture.
After trekking, we all high-fived and said our goodbyes cheerfully! Not only the weather but also having a wonderful guide and party made it a truly fantastic experience. Thank you very much.
妹と2人で参加しました。わたしは週2でジムで筋トレする程度、妹は普段全く運動をしていないですが、ガイドさんの気遣いやペース配分のおかげで、終始楽しくトレッキングできました!
前日昼すぎに着く予定の飛行機が欠航し、後便も満席… でしたが諦めきれず、高速船に切り替えてなんとか屋久島入りできました。
翌日は前日の荒天がウソのように晴れて、森の中は涼しく、雨上がりでキラキラしていて本当に美しかったです!ガイドさんが「今日の森は最高のコンディション」と仰っていましたが、その通りだと思いました。
ガイドさん除き5人のパーティで、比較的体力のあるメンバーでしたが、こまめに休憩を取っていただけて助かりました。お昼ご飯の時にはお味噌汁も振舞っていただき美味しかったです。
休憩中だけでなく歩きながら、ガイドさんが屋久島の歴史や森の動植物のことなど、色んなことをお話しして教えて下さったので、集中力を切らさず楽しくトレッキングできました!
またパーティが全員元気だったこともあり、サプライズで綺麗な川に連れていっていただけたのも、お心遣いが嬉しかったです。
トレッキング後はメンバーみんなでハイタッチして、爽やかにお別れしました!天気だけでなく、素敵なガイドさんとパーティに恵まれて、本当に素敵な経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

I apologize for any inconvenience caused to the guide, but they were very attentive and kind! Thank you so much!!! The journey was tough, but with encouragement like "we'll take a break in about ○ minutes" and stories about previous trekkers, I was able to push through until the end!
At times, when the rain was heavy and it got cold, I was warmed up with delicious miso soup! The rainforests of Yakushima are incredibly beautiful, and I was truly moved when the sun peeked out for a moment! I want to go again! I hope to count on your support then!

After arriving at Yakushima Airport on the day of the event, I participated in the Yakuzaru tour in the afternoon. Initially, I was scheduled to take a direct flight from Itami Airport to Yakushima, but that flight was canceled, so I had to change to a flight via Kagoshima at the last minute. I received a confirmation call the day before and another call on the day itself, which showed that they were attentive to my participation.
I traveled by taxi with two men who were also participating, making a total of five people including the driver. Since there were three of us in the back seat, it felt a bit cramped on the winding mountain roads. It was raining, but I was happy to be lent a large umbrella, as my small one wouldn't have been very useful.
It was great that the explanations were thorough both inside the car and outside.
当日屋久島空港へ到着後、午後からやくざる号へ参加しました。
当初、伊丹空港よりの直行便で屋久島入りする予定でしたが、欠便となり、急遽鹿児島経由で屋久島入りの便に変更になったので、前日確認の連絡と、当日もう一度連絡をいただき、参加の件で気にかけていただきました。
午前中より参加の男性2人と一緒、タクシーでの移動でした。
運転手さんも含め5人での移動でしたので、カーブが多い山道、後部座席3人はちょっと窮屈でした。
雨も降っていたのですが、大きな傘を貸していただけて自分の小さな傘では役に立たなそうだったので、嬉しかったです。
車内でも、外でも丁寧に説明していただけて良かったです。

The impact of the heavy rain disaster in May and the onset of the rainy season, along with unstable weather and delays at the time of departure, filled me with anxiety as I set off for Yakushima. Arriving at Yakushima Airport was a miracle, especially since it was a connecting flight. It was also miraculous that the mountain bus service resumed on the day of trekking, and despite heavy rain the night before, the weather was clear that day—truly a miraculous start to the trekking adventure.
However, I felt a sense of reassurance from the words of our guide, Shimozono-san, who said, "It will be fine. Let's do our best to go as far as we can."
On the day of the trek, I teamed up with my friends and two young women, making a group of four. "Today is the best," said Shimozono-san. With the June sunshine filtering through the deep green foliage, even though we were sweating, the breeze was refreshing. He helped us manage our pace as trekking beginners, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup he prepared for our lunch was comforting.
We also took many great photos. Although I had continuously declined invitations to trek to Jomon Sugi, the sense of accomplishment of "I did it too" was overwhelming. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories.
5月の豪雨災害の影響と梅雨へ突入、地元出発時の気象の不安定と大雨で遅延と条件付きと、不安材料満載の中で屋久島へ出発となりました。屋久島空港に到着も奇跡、しかも乗り継ぎで。トレッキング当日に登山バス運行が再開となったのも奇跡、前日は夜間も大雨だったのに当日は晴れたのも奇跡で、ホントに奇跡尽くしのトレッキングの始まりでした。
しかし、前日にガイドのシモゾノさんからの「大丈夫でしょう。行けるところまでがんばってき行きましょう。」というお言葉になぜか安心感がわきました。
当日は友達と、他に二人の若い女性との4人でトライしました。「今日は最高だよ」とシモゾノさん。6月の晴れ間で深緑の隙間から光がさし、汗をかいても風が涼しく、長ーい道のりをトレッキング初心者の4人のペース配分して下さり、無事に縄文杉までたどり着くことが出来ました。用意してくださった昼食のお味噌汁浸みました。
いい写真もたくさん撮れました。
誘いを拒否しつづけてきた縄文杉トレッキングでしたが、「私でも出来た」という達成感は半端なかったです。
良い思い出を本当にありがとうございました。

I participated alone as a woman! On the day of the tour, there were six of us.
Since the Arakawa Trailhead was under construction, we started from Shirakawa Unsuikyo. It was a hard course that took 2 to 3 hours longer than usual, but we all managed to reach the goal safely.
It rained heavily, but at each spot, the rain stopped, and the guide took great photos for us.
Before we started, I was disappointed about the rain, but the vibrant green moss and the slightly misty forest were so beautiful that I think the rain actually allowed us to experience the true essence of Yakushima.
I participated in early June, and because of the high humidity, it got hot quickly once we started walking. A short-sleeve T-shirt was enough under the rainwear. We could refill our water from springs multiple times along the way, so a plastic bottle was sufficient (it's best to go light).
I initially used a folding umbrella, but on the way back, I relied on my trekking poles instead. Especially for beginners, I think it's better to give up on staying dry early and fully enjoy the nature of Yakushima (laughs).
The guide not only had a wealth of knowledge but also helped with pacing and finding great photo spots, so if it's your first time, I definitely recommend going with a guide. (I was so happy that they took such beautiful photos of the heart-shaped Wilson stump!)
Some may be worried about the recent rain, but even as an amateur, I was fine! I believe there are views that can only be seen now, so experiencing the emotion of seeing the estimated 7,000-year-old Yakusugi and the sense of achievement from trekking at the same time is something I highly recommend to anyone who is hesitant.
Thank you to the guide and everyone in Yakushima for a wonderful time.
女性ひとりで参加しました!当日は6名のツアーとなりました。
荒川登山口が工事中とのことで、白川雲水峡からの出発。時間も通常より2〜3時間長くなるハードコースでしたが、無事にみんなでゴールすることができました。
雨がすごかったのですが、各スポットでは雨も上がり、ガイドさんがしっかりと写真をおさめてくれました。
スタート前は雨が残念と思っていましたが、苔の緑がとても綺麗だったり、少し白んだ森が幻想的だったりと、逆に雨の方が屋久島らしさを味わえたのではないかと思います。
6月初旬の参加でしたが、湿度が高いので歩き始めるとすぐに暑くなります。レインウェアの下は半袖Tシャツで十分です。水分も湧き水を途中で複数回くめますので、ペットボトルで十分だと思います(とにかく軽装で行った方が良いです)。
折り畳み傘は最初は使っていましたが、帰りはストックに頼ることになったので使いませんでした。特に登山初心者の方は、濡れるのは早々に諦めて、屋久島の自然を丸ごと楽しんだ方が良いと思います(笑)。
ガイドさんは、さまざまな知識はもちろん、ペース配分、そして写真のスポットまでしっかりサポートしてくれるので、初めてであれば絶対にガイドさんと登った方が良いと思います。(ウィルソン株のハートをあんなに綺麗に撮ってくださって、すごく嬉しかったです!)
先日の雨でご心配される方もいらっしゃるかもしれませんが、素人の私でも大丈夫でした!
今しか見られない景色もあると思いますので、推定7000歳の屋久杉を生で見る感動と、トレッキングとしての達成感を同時に味わえるので、迷ってる方がいれば、ぜひおすすめします。
ガイドさんはじめ、屋久島の皆様、素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

I participated on May 14th. It rained from the early morning, with the weather alternating between clearing up and drizzling.
This was my first time hiking, and I was only worried about whether I could walk for 10 hours, but once we started, I never thought about wanting to quit! I was able to enjoy the climb!
The trolley path was 8 kilometers long, and it felt like we were just walking endlessly. It was really long. The guide shared various stories and pointed out animal tracks and a nest of newborn baby birds, which made the journey enjoyable. Once we finished the trolley path, the real climbing began, and I thought reaching the Wilson stump was the hardest part. After that, the footing was relatively stable, so it wasn't too difficult.
The Wilson stump is famous for its heart shape, but honestly, I don't think I would have been able to take a nice photo of the heart without the guide. Many people entered the stump and quickly left, and I don't think they got a good shot of the heart. I couldn't tell what made the "Three Generations Cedar" special when I saw it myself, but the guide explained each one, which was very helpful. Along the way, there were trees that looked like dragons and recommendations from the guide.
The attractions on the tourist map were spaced far apart, so just climbing would have been tough. I noticed several troubles like shoe soles coming off and people injuring their feet, but those with a guide were able to get treatment and continue climbing. Some individuals who came on their own found the mountain too tough and decided to turn back.
Although it was my first time hiking, the guide adjusted the pace, provided breaks at good times, and offered miso soup and snacks for salt replenishment, which made the experience very enjoyable! If you're not an experienced hiker, having a guide is definitely recommended!
5月14日に参加しました。
朝一から雨でず時おり病んだり少し降ったりを繰り返しす天気でした。
登山は初めてで10時間も歩けるか不安しかなかったのですが、いざ始まってみるとやめたい!とか思うことは一切なく楽しんで登ることができましたっ!
トロッコ道は8キロもあり、ただただ永遠にひたすらに歩きます。本当に長いです。ガイドさんが色んな話をしてくれたり、動物の跡や生まれたての鳥の赤ちゃんの巣を教えてくれたりしたので楽しみながら進むことができました。
トロッコ道が終わると山登りが始まりますがウィルソン株にたどり着くまでが一番大変だと思いました。そこからは割と足場が作られているのでそこまでしんどくなかったです。
ウィルソン株はハートが有名ですが正直ガイドさんが居なかったら綺麗なハートの写真は取れなかったと思います。割と切り株に入ってすぐ出て行く人も多くいました。その人たちは♡に撮れてないと思います。三代杉なども自分で見たら何が三代なのか分かりませんでしたが、ガイドさんが一つ一つ話してくれるのでとても助かりました。
道の半ばにもドラゴンに見える木やガイドさんのオススメの木を教えてくれました。
観光マップに載っているものは間隔が長いので単に登るだけだと辛かったと思います。
靴底が取れる、足を痛めるなどトラブルがあるのを随所に目にしましたがガイドさんが付いている方は処置をしてもらって登ることができていました。
個人できている方は山がきついので諦めて帰る方もいました。
私も山登りは初めてでしたが、ペースを調節してくれたり、いいタイミングで休憩を入れてくれたり
塩分補給にお味噌汁やおやつをくれたり、とっっっても良くしてもらったので始終楽しく登ることができました!
登ったことがある、ベテランの方で無ければ絶対ガイドさんが居た方がいいですっ!

The weather forecast mentioned a possibility of rain, but we were able to complete the hike without a single drop falling. On the way back down the mountain, I started to feel pain in the back of my right knee, which was tough, but thanks to the support of our guide, I was able to descend safely, and I am truly grateful for that.
I was lucky to see the Japanese macaque and the sika deer, even though they were at a distance. I think I was at my physical limit, and I believe it would be difficult as I get older, so I'm glad I went.

The day before, the guide emphasized, "This is a really tough tour, are you sure you're okay with that?" I started to worry about whether we would be able to reach the goal while dozing off, and when it was time to wake up, I steeled myself and headed to the meeting point.
By "steeling myself," I mean I was determined not to give up. Of course, the goal was for the whole family to finish together.
Based on the guide's various experiences, our plan was to trek through Shiratani Unsuikyo first, then head to Jomon Sugi. If we did it the other way around, we would be exhausted from the Jomon Sugi trek and then have to climb a long, steep slope from the fork towards Shiratani Unsuikyo. That makes sense.
On the day of the trek, we were blessed with perfect weather, and thanks to our excellent guide, we were able to reach the goal. I realized that keeping pace with the guide was a crucial factor in being able to finish. If you're not confident in your trekking abilities, please make sure to stay behind the guide!
The scenery is something that words can't fully express. Please challenge yourself with determination; amazing nature awaits you! The muscle soreness from that day is also a memorable experience.

Yakushima's Jomon Sugi is a place I want to visit at least once in my life. Although I had always dreamed of it, I was filled with anxiety and worry about my lack of exercise and confidence in my physical strength, to the point that I felt a bit gloomy even though I had made the reservation myself (laughs).
On the day of the hike, we were blessed with good weather and set off with a party of mostly beginners! The guide who accompanied us was truly wonderful! With the right pace and captivating insights about Yakushima, despite walking for hours, I felt joyful and comfortable the entire time!
The anxiety I had about it being a tough challenge quickly vanished, and I was able to enjoy myself and stay energetic until the end. Seeing other guides and parties passing by made me realize that the experience of beginner trekking in Yakushima can vary greatly depending on the guide.
By the way, I rented shoes that are said to be important, and they checked and adjusted them the day before departure, so I was able to walk without any issues. The rental of the raincoat and backpack was also a huge help since I wasn't sure if I would continue hiking in the future! Someone else in our party seemed to have purchased everything for this trip, which must have been quite an expense.
I had the best trip, enjoying the long-awaited Jomon Sugi trekking in such an easy and fun way. Thank you very much!
It's strange, but I want to challenge myself to the Shiratani Unsuikyo trekking next to experience that sense of achievement again!
人生で一度は行ってみたい屋久島縄文杉。
憧れはあったものの、運動不足と体力に自信がないのとで前日まで不安と心配で、自分で予約したくせに少し憂鬱なくらいでした(笑)

同行して頂いたガイドさんが本当に素敵な方で!適切なペース配分と魅力的な屋久島の案内、何時間も歩き続けているはずなのに終始楽しくて気持ちよくて!
苦しい修行になるだろうと不安だった気持ちは一気に吹き飛び、最後まで楽しく元気に過ごせました。
すれ違う別のガイドさんやパーティの様子を見て、初心者の屋久島トレッキングはガイドさんで全く異なる体験だと実感しました。
ちなみに重要だと言われる靴をレンタルしましたが出発の前日に確認と調節をして下さり問題なく歩けました。
レインコート、バックパックのレンタルも初心者でこれから登山をするか分からない中大変助かりました!
パーティが一緒だった別の方は、今回のために購入して揃えたようで結構な出費だったようです。
こんなに手軽に、楽しく念願の縄文杉トレッキングが味わえて最高な旅になりました。
ありがとうございました。
不思議なもので、またあの達成感味わいに次は白谷雲水峡トレッキングにチャレンジしたいと思っています!

I want to visit the mossy forest, Taiko Rock, and Jomon Sugi! But I'm not confident about walking for two days. So, I thought I could just go in one day! However, being the worrywart that I am, I might end up walking too fast to catch the bus back and not enjoy myself. Plus, I hardly walk normally, and if it rains, I might not make it back safely. So, after searching, I discovered this greedy course and decided to book a private guide to avoid inconveniencing others. I asked the experienced guide, Shimozono, who has been mentioned in various testimonials. I was looking forward to it every day, but as the date approached, my anxiety about the weather and what to bring increased. When I consulted Shimozono during the pre-check, he reassured me that it wouldn't rain that day and answered all my questions about what to bring with reasons, which resulted in me only needing to rent a backpack and trekking shoes, significantly reducing my luggage for Yakushima. I was very grateful for that. Most importantly, Shimozono's kind voice and way of speaking eased my trekking anxiety.
On the day of the trek, the excitement began right from the start. I listened to the explanations and enjoyed the walk, albeit slowly, while Shimozono and my husband waited for me. We smoothly cleared the mossy forest, Taiko Rock, and the tramway. From there to Jomon Sugi, my knees started to tire, and I walked even slower, but Shimozono kept encouraging me with cheerful remarks, and we successfully reached Jomon Sugi. The miso soup that Shimozono made was incredibly comforting for my body, which had cooled down from sweating.
Then came the dreaded return journey. From the start, my knees began to hurt, and the pain intensified to the point where I was grimacing and tearing up. My husband had to help me, and I became so slow that I had to let others pass. However, I managed to return to the tramway, so I thought I just had to walk the flat path from there. But soon, my knees wouldn't bend, and the swollen toes were hitting the front of my shoes, causing pain. I started to worry that I might not make it back in time for the bus. Just then, Shimozono gave me painkillers and advised me to remove my insoles. He also made me warm coffee, which revived my knees, feet, and spirits, allowing me to catch the 5 PM bus and end the day on a happy note. I am truly grateful to Shimozono for encouraging me with cheerful remarks and being so kind, even though I caused some trouble. Also, I appreciate him for taking the initiative to take many photos at various spots. I enjoyed the tankan and kaki-pi that I couldn't eat during the trek. Thank you so much!
To the woman who talked about deer antlers while we were heading to Shiratani Unsuikyo, I enjoyed our conversation, and it really helped ease my tension about the trek. Thank you!
垢むす森にも太鼓岩にも縄文杉にも行きたい‼︎けど2日間歩く自信がない。だったら1日で行けばいいやん‼︎けど心配性な私は帰りのバスに間に合わせるために無駄に早く歩いてしまい楽しむことができなさそうだし普段ほとんど歩くことがないうえに雨が降るとなると無事に帰ってくることができないかもしれない。ということで検索した結果こちらのよくばりコースを発見し他の方に迷惑をかけてしまわないようにプライベートガイドを予約し体験談にちらほら出てくるベテランガイドのシモゾノさんにお願いすることにしました。それからは毎日楽しみにしていたのですが日が近づくにつれ天気や持ち物について不安が増えていったので事前確認の際にシモゾノさんに相談したところ、その日は雨降らないよ〜と言ってくださり持ち物について「これはいる?じゃあこれは?」とたくさん質問した一つ一つに理由をつけて答えてくださり結果レンタルする物がザックとトレッキングシューズだけになり屋久島への荷物が減り、とても有り難かったです。そして何よりシモゾノさんの優しい声と話し方がトレッキングへの不安をぶっ飛ばしてくれました。そして当日。トレッキング開始から感動が始まり説明を聞き楽しみ歩くのが遅いながらもシモゾノさんと旦那に待ってもらいつつ順調に苔むす森に太鼓岩にトロッコ道をクリア。そこから縄文杉までは膝が疲れ始めさらに歩くのが遅くなりましたがシモゾノさんが愉快な声かけをしてくださり無事に縄文杉もクリア。その後にシモゾノさんが作ってくださったお味噌は汗で冷えた体に染み渡りとても有り難かったです。そして恐怖の帰り道。歩き始めから膝が痛み始め顔が歪み涙が出てしまうほどの激痛に変わり旦那に手をひいてもらい後ろから来る方達に先に行ってもらうほど歩くのが遅くなりましたがトロッコ道まで帰ることができたので、あとは段差のない道を歩くだけだとほっとしたのも束の間、痛んだ膝は曲がらず浮腫んでパンパンになった足の指が靴先に当たり痛み始め、このままでは帰りのバスに間に合わないかもしれないというほどに歩くのが遅くなり不安になっているとシモゾノさんが鎮痛剤をくださりインソールをはずせばいいとアドバイスしてくださり温かいコーヒーを作ってくださり膝も足も気持ちも復活し無事に17時のバスで帰ることができましたし楽しい気持ちで終えることができました。迷惑をかけてしまったにも関わらず最後まで愉快な声かけで励ましてくださり優しく対応してくださったシモゾノさんには本当に本当に感謝です。あと、シモゾノさんから声をかけてくださり、たくさんの場所で写真を撮ってくださったことにも感謝です。トレッキング中に食べることができなかったタンカンと柿ピー美味しくいただきました。本当に本当にありがとうございました。
白谷雲水峡に向かっている際に鹿の角の話をしてくださった女性の方。お話楽しかったですしトレッキングへの緊張が解れて有り難かったです。ありがとうございました。

I was honestly more anxious than excited at the start, given that it was my first trekking experience on a hard course. However, we were blessed with good weather and received a lot of energy from the forest, allowing us to enjoy the walk from start to finish!
This course, which takes you through Shiratani Unsuikyo, Taiko Rock, and Jomon Sugi in one day, is indeed challenging, but it fills you with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
As someone who doesn't usually engage in sports, I believe I was able to enjoy it so much thanks to the guide's pacing, explanations at key points, and opportunities for photos.
Additionally, regarding the transportation, even though I caused some inconvenience due to my circumstances, they responded quickly and courteously, for which I am truly grateful.
It became the best memory! I highly recommend this course!!
初めてのトレッキングで、かつハードなコースということで正直楽しみよりも不安が勝るようなスタートでしたが、天気にも恵まれ、森から沢山のパワーをもらって、最初から最後まで楽しく歩くことができました!
白谷雲水峡〜太鼓岩〜縄文杉を1日で巡れるこのコースは、確かにハードではありますがその分達成感と満足感でいっぱいになります。
普段からスポーツをやっているわけではない私がこんなに楽しくやり切れたのは、ガイドさんのペース配分、要所要所での説明や写真撮影などがあったおかげだと思っています(*^^*)
また、送迎の件ではこちらの都合でご迷惑をおかけをしてしまったにも関わらず、迅速丁寧に対応してくださり本当に感謝感謝でした。
最高の思い出になりました!
このコースおすすめです!!

I signed up for this tour, considering the crowds during the Golden Week, as it allows for a direct transfer to the trailhead. It rained on the day of the hike, but because of that, I was able to leave the pacing to the guide, and we smoothly reached Jomon Sugi even in the rain. Additionally, I appreciated the explanations at each point along the way, which made it a unique tour experience. It was great that everyone had their photos taken at each photo spot! Thank you very much.
GW中参加のため混雑も考え、登山口まで乗り換えなしでいけるこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
当日は雨も降りましたが、だからこそペース配分をガイドの方にお任せでき雨の中でもスムーズに縄文杉までたどり着くことができました。
また、途中に各ポイントの説明などもしていただけてツアーならではだなと思いました。
写真も全員分を、各フォトスポットで撮っていただけてよかったです!
ありがとうございました。

I booked a tour during Golden Week. It was incredibly crowded, and it seemed difficult even to ride the local bus. There were long lines, and I shuddered at the thought of having to arrange everything myself. The tour bus provided pick-up and drop-off at the accommodation, which was a huge help. We arrived at the destination smoothly without any waiting. The return trip was also seamless. It was comfortable, and I felt it was worth signing up just for that.
Unfortunately, the guide this time... there wasn't much explanation, and we just kept moving forward. It seemed like they were not feeling well and didn't have the capacity to look around. Ultimately, they had to retire partway through, and we were handed over to a different guide... what a shame. I wish we had a fully capable guide from the start.
As a result, we suddenly became a party of 16 and formed a large group heading towards Jomon Sugi. That turned out to be a good thing! We had a great guide. They provided clear instructions and took the time to help each person with photos, managing a large number of people in heavy rain. Given that we were a group of 16, I think a perfect guide was impossible, but they did their best, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much. However, considering the feelings of those who were originally there because of our joining...
The guide is a very important point for this tour.
ゴールデンウィーク中のツアーを申し込みました。すごい人で、地元のバスに乗るのも大変な様子。長い行列もできていて、自分で手配してたらと思うとぞっとしました。ツアーバスは宿までの送り迎えがあったので本当に助かりました。待つこともなくすいすい現地に到着。帰りも宿まですいすい。快適でこれだけでも申し込んで良かったと思います。
今回、残念だったのがガイドさん、、、、
あまり説明もなくどんどんと進んで行きます。どうやら体調が悪かったみたいで、周りを見る余裕が無かったんでしょうね。最終的には、途中でリタイアされて、違うガイドさんに引き継がれて帰られました、、、、残念。それなら、最初から万全な方にガイドして欲しかったです。
というわけで、急遽16人パーティーとなり大きな一団となって縄文杉を目指すことになりました。それが逆に良かった!当たりのガイドさんでした。的確に指示をしてくれたり、写真を細かく1人1人対応してくれたり、大雨の中で大変な人数に対応をして下さいました。16人を相手ですから、完璧なガイドは無理だったと思いますが、精一杯のガイドをしてくださったので良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。ただ、私達の合流のせいで、元々おられた方たちの気持ちを考えると、、、、
このツアーは、ガイドさんがとても重要なポイントです。

In the morning, I went to Taiko Rock, then joined the Torokko Path to Jomon Sugi. If you only take the Jomon Sugi route, you'll walk the long Torokko Path back and forth in full, but this way you can skip a bit. However, since both are included, there isn't much time to spare, so those who focus on taking photos might find it boring. I think it's great for those who want to walk quietly and see various things and finish the mountain in one day! I'm satisfied!
朝に太鼓岩、そのあとトロッコ道に合流して縄文杉へ。
縄文杉ルートのみだと、長いトロッコ道を往復ともフルで歩きますが、こちらなら少し省けます。
ただ、どちらもいくので時間的に余裕はなく、写真重視の方はつまらないかもです。
黙々と歩いて色々見たい、
1日で山を終わらせたい人に良いと思います!
わたし的には満足です!

It was a great memory to take photos at several spots recommended by the guide. The explanations were easy to understand, and I felt a sense of wonder. The walking tips were helpful, and I was able to mimic where to place my feet while walking behind the guide.
However, I believe the satisfaction of the tour can vary depending on personal preferences regarding the guide's character. My guide had 12 years of experience and was knowledgeable, but was rather straightforward and lacked humor. Another guide from the same company was friendly and created a lively atmosphere where participants could bond. I think this isn't just a matter of luck but rather reflects the diversity of personalities. Everyone has their own preferences for what kind of guide they like, but since it’s a matter of chance which guide you get, I think if you consider that risk when booking the tour, you won’t have regrets.
写真をガイドさん一押しスポットの何箇所かで撮っていただけたのがいい記念になりました。説明もわかりやすくて、ふーん!という気分になれました。歩き方も参考になり、ガイドさんの後ろを歩くときは足場をどこにおくか真似することができました。
ただ、ガイドさんのキャラの好みや合う合わないによってツアーの満足度は左右されると思います。私のガイドさんは歴12年で知識は豊富でしたが、どちらかというとあっさりしていて淡白で笑いがありませんでした。同じ会社のもう1人のガイドさんは人懐っこくて笑いが絶えず参加者同士も仲良くなれるような雰囲気でした。これは当たり外れではなくキャラが多様だということだと思います。どういう人がいいかは人それぞれですがどんなガイドさんに当たるかは運なので、そのリスクを踏まえてツアーを申し込むと後悔がないのではないでしょうか。

Some people might think that it’s meaningless not to hike to Jomon Sugi. However, even if you can't climb it, you can still enjoy it at your own pace. You can encounter the Yakushima Cedar and Chihiro Falls, meet Yakushima monkeys and deer, and stroll through the forest, making for a surprisingly wonderful island trip.
縄文杉を見る登山をしないと意味がないと思う人があるかもしれません。でも登れなくても年相応に充分楽しめます。紀元杉や千尋の滝、屋久ザルや屋久シカにも出会えたり、森林を散策したり、思いの外良い島旅ができました。

It was a wonderful tour. Even during the busy Golden Week, the guide provided careful attention to each detail.
Regarding Jomon Sugi, there were many things that first-time visitors to Yakushima might not understand, and the guide thoroughly explained the rules, manners, and history of Yakushima. They pointed out places that one might overlook when exploring alone. Given the distance, I think it would be difficult for those who are not very confident in their physical fitness, but since I brought someone over 70 years old, I was worried. However, they considered everyone's condition and ensured a smooth experience while guiding us effectively. It was definitely the right decision to sign up for the tour. Thank you for a truly meaningful time. Thank you very much, guide Minida. The herbal tea we had along the way was delicious and really refreshed me.
素晴らしいツアーでした。ゴールデンウイークの忙しい中、一つ一つ丁寧ににガイドしていただきました。
縄文杉については、初めて屋久島に来られた方にはわからないことも多く、屋久島でのルールやマナー、歴史など、色々丁寧に教えていただきました。個人だと素通りしてしまうようなところも教えていただきました。さすがに距離が距離だけに、体力に本当に自信がない方は難しいと思いますが、70以上の高齢を連れていったので、不安でしたが、みんなの状態を考えてくれて、スムーズに運び、うまく導いてくれます。やっぱりツアーに申し込んで正解でした。本当に有意義な時間ありがとうございました。ガイドの箕田さん、本当にありがとうございました。途中にいただいたハーブティは美味しく、疲れが吹き飛びました。

We were able to enjoy various vegetation explanations and observations on the way to Jomon Sugi, taking over 5 hours just on the outbound journey! The return trip was in heavy rain, but it felt like an adventure through an untouched forest. The guides were very friendly, and the long day passed in no time.
縄文杉に着くまでに様々な植生を解説・観察でき、往路だけで5時間越えの道を楽しみながらたどり着くことができました!
また、帰りは豪雨の中でしたが、これぞ手付かずの森というような、アドベンチャー感溢れる道のりでした

On the day I arrived in Yakushima, I picked up my rental items at the port and then returned them to the hotel front the next day after the tour. It was very helpful since I had little luggage and it didn't take much time to go pick up the rentals. I think the prices are reasonable too! The guide was very knowledgeable, and I was able to enjoy climbing even the tough paths. They also taught us how to take secret photos... Although I participated alone, it was nice that they made an effort to help everyone get along.
It would be even more helpful if the preparation for the lunch boxes could be clearly stated. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the different accommodations for departure and return, but thank you for your kind assistance.
屋久島到着日に港にレンタル品を受け取り、
ツアー翌日ホテルフロントに預ける流れです。
荷物も少なく、レンタルしに行く手前もかからず、大変助かりました。
お値段的にも良心的だと思います!
ガイドさんも知識が豊富で、しんどい道も楽しく登れました。
秘密の写真の撮り方も教えてくれたり…
1人参加でしたが、みんなが仲良くなるよう工夫してくださったのもよかったです。
お弁当の準備について分かり易く明記頂けるとなお助かります。
出発の宿と帰着の宿が異なることでご迷惑をおかけしてしまいましたが
快く御対応頂きありがとうございました。
